5 Chub

Fished the downstream fast water section. Started really well with a barbel and non stop chub. To the feeder.Then bites dried up. Saw a few barbel under the the really overgrown middle section bankside tree line but just no way to cut a swim to get a bait to them. Very frustrating. My fishing partner ventured further down near a cattle drink. & was accosted by a number of over curious cows. Which had him scampering back. All in all an interesting day.

1 Barbel, 12 Chub

River very low. 14 chub caught from 4 oz. to 4lb caught on meat with stickfloat. Thankyou for a nice day of fishing in unspoilt quiet countryside. Hopefully I will try another stretch next year.

The River level was very low but we managed to find a shoal of small barbel caught 10 all between 1lb-3lb on meat and pellet, still good sport but not sure where all the big fish have gone !

It was as dead as a dodo. No takes whatsoever. May well have been down to my incompetence, I’m not sure. Anyway I was using the ‘Klink and Dink’ method. I tried various flies to adjust my depth, but to no avail. Towards the end of my day I did see a lively salmon swimming at the top of the beat - the only fish I saw all day. Still an enjoyable day, and I don’t regret giving it a go.
